Should I have Paid for this Expensive Tour?

Editorial Summary

The creator visits Orkney Island, Scotland, to weigh the value of a specific shore excursion versus exploring the town of Kirkwall independently. Having already spent nearly 600 dollars on previous excursions, the creator considers whether to pay for a two and a half hour tour to the Ring of Brodgar, a Neolithic UNESCO World Heritage site similar to Stonehenge. Because the more affordable excursion options were sold out, the remaining tour was priced at approximately 200 dollars. Instead of booking the tour, the creator takes a tender to Kirkwall to explore the local area for free. The exploration includes visiting the Kirkwall Cathedral, viewing the ruins of the Bishops and Earl palaces, and visiting a local museum. The creator also walks through the town to browse various shops, including a toy store and a bookstore, while searching for snacks. Ultimately, the creator concludes the day by revealing the cost of the missed excursion and asks viewers to decide if the historical site was worth the 200 dollar price tag compared to the free activities found in town.
